First time back packer looking for your advice and suggestions
I’m sure there is a ton of these threads already but why not. I have done a lot of car camping in the eastern sierras and plan to go on some Backpacking fishing trips soon. These will likely be 1-3 nights. Mostly curious of what I should prioritize buying new and used. Found a fair amount of gear online used and some new is around the same price. Don’t need the most up to date light weight bla bla bla. Just good quality for price gear. I hope to go about 3 times before winter. I found a guy near me with great reviews selling patched nemo pads so sleeping pad is out the way. Wondering for input on many things one of which is my tent. The trekking pole tents seem pretty great for weight and size. I’ll likely have my gf for most of these trips so a 2 person is mandatory. Also how to choose the size of bag I get. I like to buy companies that are willing to back there products with warranties. I know this is rather vague just want to hear others options and advice. Thanks and happy trails.
